To study the evaluation of the curricular design, it is proposed an instrument of evaluation and certification of the design of syllabuses of the specialties in Medical Sciences before its implementation in the teaching-learning process in order to certify its quality, taking into account its pedagogical and organizational conception, according to the pedagogical contemporary models, as well as its social relevance. The instrument was created starting from the criteria of experts that offered their experience in the determination of variables that should be evaluated and the weight of each one, starting from the theoretical analysis of bibliography and the national and international experience on this regard, as well as from the characteristics and organization of the curriculum in Medical Sciences. After being made, it was used to evaluate 6 curricular designs of specialties to validate its content. The present proposal will permit to attain a unique way of evaluating the curriculum in the medical specialties and a better result in the curricular planning that will benefit the postgraduate system.
